Support for multiple portals.  Currently AD does not create accounts/authenticate for sub-portals.  Thanks!!

Kevin,

This module does not store the AD password in the system so that should not be a concern. It just authenticates the user against the AD then stores a random password.  You can see this is true by logging in autmatically then request your password - what you will get is a random password.

Stuart,

  Here is a huge request for me.  I currently have a scenario where a parent portal does not use AUTH and a child portal does all under the same domain.  ( Reason: The parent portal serves as entry point for all the child portals ) Now if a user enters the parent portal for the first time everything is dandy. But if a user comes back later and enters the child portal they are forced to delete their cookie before automatic login will work again. 

I believe the reason why is the parent portal is screwing up the cookie.

hey craig,

it appears that DNN stores a hashed version of your AD password and that's why it appears as random characters in the db table.  if you click the "Forgot Password?" button it'll send you your AD password in clear text via email.  it's horrifying! 

i haven't looked at the source in a while but i believe it's hashing the password based on the machine key as a seed.  i don't know of any other way to retrieve your password from AD (you can only reset it in AD).

if your DNN install is set to authenticate against AD then why store any password at all in DNN?

As far as I can tell, it doesn't appear that the AD module goes through the membership provider to do it's work.  If that is the case, it would be a good thing to change so folks can keep all their custom membership logic in their custom provider.
